Gun violence

I think one of the best ways to prevent gun violence in the school is to lock it down a little bit better. Go over to Immanuel Lutheran School here in Loveland and try to get in. You need ID, you have to stop at the front office and check in, and then you get a badge, then with an electronic keypad they let you in to locked areas where the students are. They're kept separate from the front part of the building. Man, this school is way ahead of it's time. Thank you, Immanuel Lutheran.

The caller in today's paper that really hit on an important point about that ownership and it talked about our Second Amendment and well regulated militia. Israel, a lot of other countries who allow guns, do have it really well regulated. You have to take multi-week courses to prove you can handle that gun before you're allowed to have it. We should have the exact same thing here. You cannot go out and operate a car or vehicle on the road, and the bigger the vehicle the more you have to prove that you can handle that before you're allowed to. I think it should be a bare minimum that we have that to have gun ownership. Once again, gun owner, proud to be a gun owner, but I also took courses and I think everybody should need to prove that they can handle that gun.

Why should schools become fortresses? We send our children to school and tell them they are safe. We need to do different changes in our society so that guns aren't available, so that people aren't able to go get a gun to go to a school. We don't need to have prisons for children to go to school in. That is wrong.

Guns have evolved. Why can't the Second Amendment evolve also?

Do you want government action to make school and kids safe? Transfer funds for security and protection of president, vice president and Congress to our schools to make them safer. Let government leaders pay for their own security and safety, they get paid enough. Schools can use the money to buy metal detectors and pay for police on duty temporarily. Enough is enough. How many kids and teachers have to be killed to get government to act? They can pass bills in 24 hours and get them signed immediately before the ink is dry.

Bad guys have very sophisticated weapons and the good guys don't. Why is that?

I-25 construction

I was just wondering if anybody out there might know why the construction on I-25 and Crossroads has stopped. Thank you in advance.

Thank you

A big thank you to Theresa and Brett that came to my aid as I fell at the post office. They were so kind and thoughtful and caring for me. Brett drove me home in my car. I appreciate you and Theresa for going out of your way to assist me during my time of need. There are still great people who live in the city of kindness and caring. Thanks so much to both of you. God bless.
